Several weeks ago I asked a question on Facebook. If you had to pick one food to eat the rest of your life, what would it be? The answers were great and fun to read. My answer was pizza. And this chicken pesto pizza is at the top of the list.

Although I am basically a plain jane, cheese pizza kind of girl, I do enjoy a specialty pizza now and then. At our house that usually means we use whatever is in the refrigerator.

Last week I had leftover Pesto Chicken and it makes the perfect pizza topping.. I also used a thin layer of pesto as the base for the pizza too. If you haven’t made Pesto Chicken just cut up some cooked chicken and stir in some pesto. Use jarred pesto from the store or make your own using my Pesto Recipe, it’s super easy!

So easy and so delicious. Of course, one of the tricks to really excellent pizza is using “real” mozzarella cheese. The stuff you have to slice, not the pre-grated stuff in the bag. I also give it a nice dusting of freshly grated Parmesan cheese too.

I cook my pizza on a preheated pizza stone so I end up with a nice crispy crust. Then the only question left to answer is to you slice your pizza into squares or pie shaped pieces? I’m a square girl

So am I the only one that would pick pizza as their one and only food to eat!?

That looks mouthwatering! I have some homemade pesto in the freezer, along with some homemade pizza dough. I actually have pizza on my menu plan for this week, I think I’ll make it pesto pizza! I also have your baked ziti I found through Laura at I’m An Organizing Junkie. I think I’m going to have two of your recipes on my menu this week!

My husband was recently diagnosed with a condition that requires a very low sodium diet. I am learning to cook pretty much everything from scratch to be able to control the sodium… thank you for these basic recipes!

WELCOME
